Woman Suffrage . Letters from Springfield state that a hear ; pressure is bro ught to bear upon the Constitutional Convention in favor of woman s suffrage , and that it will probably result in a separate article in favor of woman suffrage , being submitted to the people . This is as it should be ; and we hope that when the question is so submitted , the people of DeKalb County will maintain tbeir well-won reputation aa lovers of the widest liberty and fear less leaders in beneficial reforms , by voting in favor of the measure . For , as •»• have years ago remarked , we kwow of no good and sufficient ground , upon which , when women as a body demand the right to vote , it can equitably be denied to them . If taxation without representation is tyranny , as our revolutionary father * taught us , we are undeniably tyrannical , in taxing th « property of single women , while refusing them a right t * vote upon the tax . As an instance of the injustice of ittis , we mention the case of a ...

HIBK HBXTIOX . Mild , beautiful , springlike weather . The one roaring , cold , biacing day on Saturday was speedily toned down again , by a soft south wind to the prevalent mildness of the remarkable winter . Our farmers may have the opportunity ft sow wheat next week as they have in years past , and they may have a winter in March and April This is the season for colds . To be without a cold is to be out of the fashion . If you have no cold you should extemporize a cough when you meet a friend just to let him know that you sympathize with him . But under ordinary circumstances you will have a cold . If you go out during these warm days the pores will thaw out and with the next change in the wind they will frcezj up again aud then you ve got it . This is not the technical language to describe the phenomenon but it v-ill do . To have one of those fashionable colds Is welicuough but wc advise j-ou to stop there Go ou and take the second degree in this order—a lung fever , or the thir...

MISS DICKlNftOX &amp;lt; S LECTrJRE . ¦ ANOTZIEB WOMAN S OPINION . Mr . Editor : —Allow me a small space in your columns , to say a few words on A Woman s Opinion of Miss Anna Dickinson s lecture , of the 3 rd of February . I think it is not necessary to go into the Adobe huts of Salt Lake City , and look upon , and talk with the wretched women of the Whited Sepulchres of that modern Sodom , to ascertain fully that there exists in . our midst , a foul , loathsome and desperately wicked system of cociety , which is fully condemned by tho laws of both God and man . But for some unaccountable reason , best known to themselves , the wise men at Washington , whose business it is to make the laws and see them executed , wink at this grcvious wrong , committed in Utah , by a people living under and subject to the same Government that rules all the rest of the inhabitants of this Nation , while both they and the people at large , prate about , and the newspapers teem with just indignati...

Tbe IiatMt from Caliroraiav . A good many people of this county are thinking of going to California in the spring , and they may perhaps be interested in this description of tho country , by old Alvali Marsh of Genoa , 76 years of age , who moved out there last spring . It is written to bis boys , and an old Californian who stands by as wc read it says it is the best description of the country , that he has ever seen . The spelling it will be noticed has caught something of the picturesque character of the country in which he lives . Olcma , Cal „ Jan . 1 st . 1870 .

• *)• Conamnnleatael . MB , E DITOB . —I see by your last issue that your Malta correspondent in spite of the very plain explanation given in my former letter , in relation to apportionment , asserts as his authority The miuutes of the quarterly Conference . Waiving all other points at issue , he takes shelter behind this and flatters himself to have obtained a complete triumph . But while a part of the truth is told there Ci-e certain exceptions acd provisos in the baok gronnd , kept very carcfi ^ y . concealed from public view . As 1 wo « not present at tho meeting . I rely on the statements of the Ma ^ nold class teacher and Steward who say that when the apportionment was made they both protested against It . The official Board however suggesting and presuming that the Renwiek appointment would very materially assist in raising the amount , charged thesr brethren to do what thoy could toward It snd there it passed on to the minutes . Here then is the ridiculous farce enacted , of...

. — *? • STCA 9 I 4 KIE FARBEBS CLVaS . JfeetfaaratfTeb . Itifc . The subject of discussion at this meeting at tbe Club , was The Planning and Erection of Farm Buildings other than Barns ; and our written report will hardly give a full idea of its interest , inasmuch as the main feature of the discussion was the presentation of a number of plans and diagrams for carriage barns , corn cribs , granaries , hog pens , tool rsonuand combinations of the same . From the conversation which arose over them , we may , however , be able lo extract some hints of value . S . C . Hale said : No plan can be given for these buildings that will suit all , because it is necessary to consult the locat on and thepecnliarites of the gronnd on which it is to be built , as well as the different necessities of the owner . I have a great antipathy to the common plan of putting grain over a bog hones . I think the penetrating odor of the hog « tj « must infect the grain . I should build a hog house two stori...
